If you have great documentation W-2 type income and you are not looking for the exact same thing that everyone else is looking (eg, a condo in a tourist area that won't allow airbnb's anyway) or a small multifamily in metro San Juan) then you may be in luck. 
Colton Carew Money Orders vs Online Payments reported to Credit Bureaus
1 August 2024 | 4 replies
Money order is an added protection for the tenant because when the payment platform is hacked and everybody’s information is stolen, the tenant’s information won’t be there and therefore cannot get stolen.Look at the agreement documents the platform forces you/tenant to sign.

Mac Boeve Applicant with a Conservator
1 August 2024 | 0 replies
On one document I received it states: "The individual (applicant) is mentally competent but due to age or physical infirmity is unable to manage his or her property and affairs effectively and, recognizing this disability, has requested a conservator's appointment"It also states the conservator is: "conservator of all assets of the individual's estate".What I'm wondering is do I need the conservator to also be the co-signer on the lease?

Isadore Nelson Plausible deal in Toledo, Ohio?
1 August 2024 | 4 replies
I see buyers getting surprised by this often when buying older buildings.The more time you give an agent to quote the better the chances of getting a competitive rate - a lot of buyers start calling agents when they are going to close and want it NOW NOW NOW> you will pay more this way.Give the insurance agent a week or two to shop the rate and get the agent accurate documentation proving the age of updates to the roof, electrical, plumbing, hvac, etc and good photos of the property to allow them to sell the property to underwriting.A lot of people don't realize two sales are made for an insurance policy - one to underwriting and one to the person buying the policy.

Linda Roberts What is the standard paperwork at the end of a tenancy?
31 July 2024 | 1 reply
Specifically, anything indicating that the lease is completed and both sides have no claims or issues with each other.There's no "standard" agreement that I'm aware of, but we've done a bilateral "Termination of Rental Agreement" when we wanted to document that a tenant has officially moved out, that there are no outstanding funds owed, and that there are no claims or issues.These agreements are particularly useful when doing "cash for keys" with a tenant.I would keep it simple: State in the document exactly what you want to establish as facts, and then run it by an attorney for good measure.I'd also recommend requiring the tenant's signature be notarized.
